It has been a little over a week in the jungle-likeness of Honduras that we are camped. It has not gotten any easier to get in and out of my tent; I feel as if I am a chicken hatching from an egg, one limb at a time. I have become somewhat acquainted to the spiders, yet some moments I still resume sheer panic depending upon their size. I have seen some snakes as well, but I am blocking that moment from my mind. I have learned how to make a forest appropriate for living by means of using a machete to chop down trees, digging up the roots, pick-axing and hoeing out the ground; I have gleemed much knowledge already and am just baffled by things before I never would have thought twice about. The days are long and the work is pretty intense.
It is a hard space. However, I have determined to make this hard space a HOLY space. I will press more and more into the Lord here; I know He is taking me further out of the comfort I cling too.
Even here in this hard space, I am so blessed. I know many others are currently walking through much harder places. I am blessed by my health; I am blessed by the capabilities my body gives weigh too; I am blessed by the breath in my lungs; I am blessed by the many little blessings the Father continues to open my eyes too; I am blessed by the people the Lord has placed in my path to make this even possible; I am blessed by this incredible opportunity to serve here in Honduras. I am blessed and overwhelmed by the Lord’s presence with me here.
We say He is Enough; But, truly is He?
If He called you today to lay aside the comforts of this world, would you be willing?
If you lost it all would your hands stay lifted?
I don’t know what space you are walking in today, but regardless invite the Lord in and make it a Holy One.
1 Corinthians 5:1 “For we know that if our earthly tent we live inside destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal dwelling in the heavens, not made with hands.
God, thank you for this hard space.
Thank you for stretching me and my team here.
Thank you for the many blessings that I have in the past so easily took for granted.
I pray that these next two months here in Honduras would be a Holy Space with you and for You.
Your Beloved, Kel
